I read somewhere that there was corrosion remediation that was scheduled to begin but I can't re-find that article.

I'll also note that there are exposed pillars in the area below the condos that is used for parking. They would be constantly exposed to salt air so possibly compromised. Maybe someone drove into one of them? When they finally unpack all the rubble, there may be more answers.

What a terrible thing to happen. I suspect this will change the building codes as much as Andrew did. This can't be allowed to happen again.
